Mudpup Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Lovely creative listing for a Sterling Sub here - gives the impression its a USA [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MUSIC-MAN-Stingray-3-Band-EQ-4-String-Bass-Guitar-Sunburst-INC-Hard-Case-/332123948217?hash=item4d542144b9:g:9ScAAOSw4CFYoLWk"]http://www.ebay.co.u...ScAAOSw4CFYoLWk[/url] Totally avoided showing any logo's in the pictures and only really identifiable if you knew what the back of a USA Ray headstock and the bridge looks like Edited February 13, 2017 by Mudpup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Reported it? Quite a poor attempt, I would hope all Stingray buyers would realise this is a no-no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 It does have the words "Made in Indonesia" pretty easily read in the third picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] That's only relevant if the potential purchaser knows where Stingrays are made (or not in this case) It just seems like they've purposely avoided showing the obvious things - like the logo on the front of the headstock - hoping someone will make assumptions Oh, and they've called it a a Music Man Stingray (which it isnt).......

dieseldalziel Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) I messaged him asking for a photo or info on the otherside of the head stock..he has just got back to me with "after further investigation it is a music man bass but it's a sub ray 4 sterling the guy i spoke to got it wrong. So I've relisted it as that sorry for any confusion" new listing here..http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/bass-guitar-/332126170099?hash=item4d54432bf3:g:tb0AAOSwmLlX~Lns Edited February 14, 2017 by dieseldalziel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's still got the original listing up as well ;-) But this is starting to sound like a vendetta from me and it really isnt so i'm outta here now Edited February 14, 2017 by Mudpup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devious, although I don't really understand his new technique to try and get it sold. Bass Guitar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I agree it's somewhat obfuscating the facts, but if the potential purchaser doesn't know where Stingrays are made then said potential purchaser wouldn't think it was a USA bass.
